When placing images on your websites you might have to resize them to get the correct size image or correct aspect ratio. Within Click 2 Crop you can define presets so you can easily get images in the correct file size. Fanic can supply you with the definition files that you can add to Click 2 Crop.

Installing the software

You can download Click 2 Crop at http://www.click2crop.com/ - click the download button, click 'setup exe file' and install the software.

When you open Click 2 Crop for the first time you have to import the definition files. This way you get the correct image sizes. Ask Fanic to create a definition file for you.

1. Click the 'Presets' menu option.
2. Click 'Edit presets menu...'.
3. Click on the 'Remove Preset or Separator Line' button until the list is empty.
